General guidelines:
These vote guidelines are for votes made by premium rate telephone service (PRTS), by post, or via the websites at www.itv.com/nta or www.nationaltvawards.com (the ‘websites’). Please note that it is not possible to vote via any other method not specified here.

Viewers can vote for their favourite nominee, from amongst a long-list of contenders (the “Long-list”) in the relevant categories, to win the 15th National Television Awards. Viewers may vote for one (1) nominee in each of the eleven (11) categories as indicated on the official voting form, and elsewhere as indicated.

Voting restrictions:
You may vote up to 6 times by PRTS phone, post or via the website using the same phone number or email address, but you may only vote for one nominee per category. If you exceed this limit using PRTS you will hear a message informing you that you have reached the limit. Your telephone provider should not charge you for this call. If you exceed the limit when voting via the websites or via post, your votes will not be counted but you may still be charged where applicable.

The producer of the programme, (“the Producer),‘The 15th National Television Awards’ (the ‘programme’), their sub-contractors, subsidiary and/or agencies are committed to operating viewer voting fairly, and to preventing abuse of its systems. Hence, we reserve the right to disqualify votes if we have reasonable grounds to suspect, having regard to all circumstances and information available to us at the relevant time, that fraudulent voting has occurred, such that it is designed to excessively manipulate the outcome of the vote or otherwise.

Voting times:
The vote is opened and closed as specified on the websites and in the relevant publications, ‘Heat’, The Sun and ‘Radio Times’ (the ‘relevant publications’). Votes made or received outside of these specified times will not be counted. Voting times are liable to change and the Producer may suspend, withdraw or re-set voting at its sole discretion at any time. The Producer may at their sole discretion at any time change the rules for voting due to reasons beyond their control.

Voting via PRTS phone:
To vote for a nominee by phone, you will need to call the PRTS number 0901 888 2009 using a touch-tone telephone, and follow the instructions given.

Each PRTS phone vote costs 25p per minute plus an 8p connection charge from a BT landline and should last no longer than 6 minutes. Calls from other networks may be higher and from mobiles will be considerably more. The total cost will be dependent on the voter’s network and the duration of the call Please ask permission from the bill payer before voting and please dial carefully and sensibly. There will be no refund for the cost of any vote made or for any misdialled calls.

To select the nominee in the category you wish to vote for, you are required to refer to the code number for each nominee within the categories as indicated on the websites, or printed in the relevant publications, or as stated on the official voting form.

The closing date and time to receive votes via PRTS phone is 23:59 on Wednesday 30th September 2009. Votes received after this date and time will not be counted.

If you are calling after the voting times have closed, you will hear a message stating that voting is now closed.

Voting via post:
To vote by post, you must fill in an official voting form as found in high street branches of WH Smith and in the relevant publications. Photocopies or other duplication of these voting forms will not be accepted.

You must then complete the form as instructed, place it in a sealed envelope with the relevant postage paid and post it to: The 15th National Television Awards, Doncaster DN55 1TA. Applications sent in by post are deemed received upon arrival. Voting forms submitted by post must have the correct postage paid. Voting forms sent without the correct postage, or which are sent to any other address will not be counted.

All postal votes must reach the above address by 23:59 on Wednesday 30th September 2009. The producer of the programme, their sub-contractors, subsidiary and/or agencies accepts no responsibility for any votes which do not arrive at this address by the closing date. Votes received after this date and time will not be counted.

Voting via the websites:
To vote for a nominee, you may go to the websites and follow the instructions given there. You may vote for one nominee in each category. Once you have made your selections (you must vote in at least one category) you must provide a valid email address and register your details for your votes to count. This is used as a means to monitor multiple voting. Shortly after submitting this information, you will see an on-screen message thanking you for your vote. There is no charge for voting via the websites, although internet service provider’s fees may apply. The closing date and time to receive votes via the websites is 23:59 on Wednesday 30th September 2009. Votes received after this date and time will not be counted.

Voting results:
The result of the vote will be from all votes submitted before the voting deadlines and received by the producer of the programme at the time when the result is calculated, after the deadline for receiving votes has passed. Please note that votes which have been sent but not yet received by the producer of the programme at the time when the result is calculated will not be counted.

The four nominees from each of the eleven categories with the most votes will go forward to be included in a shortlist of nominees (the ‘Shortlist’). In the event of a tie, where two or more nominees receive joint highest votes, then the tied nominees will all be put forward for the Shortlist.

In the event of a technical failure or other circumstance beyond the Producer’s reasonable control which affects the vote, or any other decision which the vote would have determined, the Producer will calculate the outcome of the vote having regard to all circumstances and information available to them at the relevant time.

The Producer and their sub-contractors do not accept any responsibility whatsoever for any technical failure, interruption or malfunction or any other problem with any telephone network or line, system, server, provider, software or otherwise which may result in any votes not being properly received heard, registered or recorded, or for any votes incorrectly addressed, or lost in transit or for any irregularities, industrial action, or other disruption in the postal service, and we will not be held liable in any such event.

The Producer and/or the prize provider will not be able to amend contact information provided once entry to the competition has been made. Reasonable efforts will be made to contact a winner.
